I've had about five aligners, and all of them were worn out within a few months because holes had formed in the aligners. My teeth are also somehow worn down. Well, teeth aren't usually pointy, but my teeth were definitely larger at the bottom. They told me to massage my jaw, but that doesn't help…
Hey, I have a question since our dentist can hardly make an appointment at the moment. I grind/clench my teeth extremely badly at night, and I even do it unconsciously during the day. I just got a splint, which sometimes makes me feel sick when I have it in. Whenever I open my mouth, it…
Hey people, I have two rabbits. One of them often grinds her teeth. Let me explain it this way: she grinds her teeth while she's sleeping or relaxing, for example. It's not particularly loud, but I've noticed recently that this happens often while she's relaxing. Could this still be a sign that she's feeling well…
Hello lovers, Each of you has probably heard of a night brace or chewing/biting/stress brace that is used on your upper or lower jaw at night to protect both from grinding your teeth. Do you think I can clean the brace (made of plastic) in the dishwasher? I would like a thorough cleaning of the…
I got one recently… Now I have a hard time falling asleep with it because it's so unfamiliar. My dentist promised me that the night guard would also straighten three of my front incisors. Is that true? – It seems strange to me and doesn't make sense, since I'm only supposed to get a new…
Hello everyone, My dentist has now prescribed me a bite splint for my lower jaw. The problem is that the pain is getting significantly worse instead of better with this splint. I do grind my teeth less, but that's only because I can't sleep at all with this splint on, which of course prevents me…
I got a night guard today, and shortly after putting it on, my mouth hurts a lot and is completely tense because it's half open because of the guard. Is this normal? Should I still wear it?
My grandma's fillings are quite worn, brown spots are visible, and there are also small dark spots on the edges of her teeth. She also grinds and clenches her teeth. She also complains of pain when eating ice cream or drinking coffee, and that her teeth "pull." According to her, the composite fillings have been…
I now have to wear this splint during the day, too. It just makes me lisp so loudly. Which speaking exercises help?
Hi, I recently had my dentist make me a night guard, but I haven't picked it up or paid for it yet. Recently I had so many unexpected high expenses that I ran out of money. I could just about afford the brace, but I'd prefer to cancel the appointment and wait a few months…
Is there a chance that excessive grinding and clenching could break a retainer or bend the wires? Would the marks be visible on the braces?
